Some brakes have a Quick Release mechanism to allow easier wheel removal. Whenever you adjust the brakes, make sure the
QR mechanism is in the closed position.

Never ride unless the Quick Release is firmly locked in the closed position.

The brake cable wires should be checked for kinks, rust, broken strands or frayed ends. The outer casing should also be checked
for kinks, stretched coils and other damage. If the cables are suspect they should be replaced.

Lubrication

The brake lever and brake caliper pivot points should be oiled with 2-3 drops of light oil at least every three months,
to ensure smooth operation and to reduce wear.
Cables should be greased along their entire length, after removing them from their casings, at least every six months.
Always grease new cables before fitting.

Adjustment - Sidepull Calipers

Minor brake adjustment can be made via the barrel cable adjuster,
usually located at the upper cable arm. To adjust, squeeze the brake
pads against the rim, loosen the lock nut and turn the adjuster. Brake
pad clearance should be a maximum 2mm from the rim.
When correct, re-tighten the lock nut.
If the pads cannot be set close enough to the rim in this manner, you
may have to adjust the cable length. Screw the barrel adjuster 3/4 of
the way in, squeeze the pads against the rim, undo the cable anchor
bolt and pull the cable through with pliers. Re-tighten the cable anchor
bolt and apply full force to the brake lever to test, then fine tune
using the barrel adjuster.
If one pad is closer to the rim than the other, loosen the fixing nut at
the back of the brake, apply the brake to hold it centred, and re-
tighten the fixing nut. Some brakes have a special mechanism which
enables you to set the clearance on either side of the rim using a
screwdriver.
